As soon as the time comes to switch-up my cement-like foundations for sheerer formulas, or even no base at all, I rejoice, but seeming to sense this change in my summer makeup preferences, my skin often likes to put a spanner in the works and misbehave. When blessed with a beastly break-out, patchy pigmentation or raging redness, it can be tempting to reach for a trusty bottle of Estee Lauder Double Wear, safe in the knowledge that it can erase every single 'flaw'. Stop right there. Instead, a high-coverage concealer is your secret weapon to hide any naughty nasties, whilst leaving the rest of the face looking as natural as possible. My most-recent discovery is the Becca Ultimate Coverage Concealing Creme and, boy, it's a game-changer!

I can't believe June is already here, hence why this post is up later than usual. May was a busy month for me, as we've been on the hunt for a new flat. Now that all the boring paperwork has gone through and we have a date for moving into our new pad, stuffing everything into boxes has begun. As a result, the majority of my beauty stockpile has been packed up, leaving me with only a small selection of products to keep me going until I can reorganize everything, including this little lot.
